Sitting all day with poor posture can have devastating effects on your back. Back pain, muscle fatigue, disk degeneration, disc bulges, nerve impingement… the list goes on and on. Up to 85% of people suffer from low back pain in their lifetime.

So what can you do to prevent or reduce low back pain caused by poor sitting posture?

Below is a great video from my favorite Physiotherapist on Youtube, Physio Fitness Australia, on how to sit with correct posture. It’s very difficult to describe how to sit with proper posture, this video does a great job of showing you a simple and effective may to change your posture.

Pelvic Tilt – What’s your angle?

The angle of your pelvis determines the shape of your spine. When your pelvis is in the correct position your spine naturally forms the preferred S-Shape that gives it structural stability.

As Mr. Keeley states in the above video, you do not have to sit with perfect posture all the time. The goal is to consciously reset your posture at least every hour. The more you become aware of your posture and reset it to a proper position the more your brain will consider that position to be its new normal. Over time your brain will learn to maintain that position on an ongoing basis.

The other key point to remember is the idea of a “pattern of movement”. The technique of lifting the top of your head toward the ceiling, thereby recruiting a variety of muscles and creating a natural movement pattern, will allow your brain to more quickly and easily adopt the new posture.

It’s easy to create a beautiful and practical office space with just a few key pieces. Alicia went with an L-Shaped Credenza Desk with corner, a lateral file with open hutch and a Herman Miller style office chair.

The lateral file includes heavy duty, full extension, ball bearing glides that can accommodate either letter or legal size documents. The Espresso colour version comes with Brushed Nickel drawer pulls, the Cherry version has black drawer pulls.

The pedestals come standard with full extension ball bearing glides as well as heavy duty glides on the file drawers. The file drawers can accommodate both legal and letter size hanging file folders.

Alicia has done a great job of placing the desk in front of the window to take advantage of natural light and the view. She utilized the adjacent wall to house the lateral file with hutch. This setup would also work well with a desktop hutch.

Blue Tag Office would like to thank Alicia for allowing us to use her photos and setup as a great example for others looking for design ideas.

If you have any questions about your own layout or design ideas please call or email us.
